BLUE EAGLE, A. T., Aug. 10, 1884,
DEAR SR-Acknowledging the receipt q
your letter Of the 18th inst, we have to sal
that The Blue Eagle Herald is not run IL

your inclosure Of check on Farley & Pom
eroy, Of Tucson, for CSC, is herewith re
turned. We are not aware Of just the exact
spot "where it viii do the most good" and
therefore cannot con~scientiously assume tn
responsibility Of placing it. Doubtless you
will find other journals whose information
on this point is greater than ours, and
whose habits Of absorption extend to CON
tributions from the local nominee for con.
stable up to the aspirant for congresxional
honors. As you seem to desire the Office d
territorial delegate, suppose you hunt them

Very respt. yours,

DEADHEAD, A. r., Aug. 28, 18s-.
GENTLEMEN-1 am in receipt Of your IL
vor of the 10th inst, and am much sur
prised at its contents. I presumed, Of course,
that you would appreciate my little pleas
antry in requesting you to place my check
"where it would do the most good" and if
you approved Of my candidacy that you
might return value for value by ~ventilating
my real or supposed merits in your able
sheet. II nominated, may I not hope to
have your support in the coming campaign,
which will be a very hot one? I shall be
pleased to place any facts concerning my
record and fitness at your disposal.
Very truly yours,
RICHARD TRExAnE.

BLUE EAGLE, A. r., Sept. z, 1888.
DEAR S1R-In reply to your letter Of the
28th ult. we have to ray that the intellect
Of the editor Of this paper did not grasp
your ''little pleasantly" and would not
have appreciated it If it had. We are able,
however, to recognize bribery under any
gulse, and the pill is none the more palat-
able because sugar coated. We shall take
much pleasure in ventilating your "record"
as already known to US.
Yours, etc.,
HARRINGTON & LEVI.
To R. L. Tremaine, etc.
From The Blue Eagle Herald Of Sept 81
The hitherto successful attempts Of The
Herald to remain an Independent paper,
and not s~ubservient to any party or faction
in the territory, in spite Of many Turing
b.: hes and offers, have been, we trust, fully
appreciated by our readers; and we were be-
ginning to congratulate ourselves on our rec
ognized position of independence when
these dreams were rudely dispelled by the
probable 'People's" nominee for delegate,
one R. L. Tremaine. q resident Of that re-
sort of outlaws and robbers appropriately
known as Deadhead. He has openly sought
to purchase our influence and support by
his check for $50; but we remailed the same
to him ~instanter, with q pretty frank ex-
preston of our views as to his conduct,
which we trust was pointed enough to pene-
trste even his hide. It might as well be
right now that tho Herald m
not be bought, and will remain firm in it's
advocacy of honest men and measures.
Col. Trautman, who will undoubtedly be
renominated by the "Citizens' - party, is q
gentleman and a man, and we feel sure that
the intelligent and respectable elements in
both parties will unite and secure his re.
The futile attempt of certain
papers to fix on him the stigma of having
Bill Monterey with a toy pistol has been
exploded by our courageous contemporary,
The Mont@uma Tribune, which published q
complete denial in its issue of last Saturday,
furnished by Bill himself, who says it was a
a. Smith & Wesson, and that he was look
ing for ths colonel on that very day with a
double-barcled shot gun. He adds that
he regards Col. Trautman as a perfect gen.
which we know him to be.
It is sad to reflect that Tremaine must
continue to live in Arizona, but it is proba-
bic he will, unless a vigilance committee can
be found to translate him hence. That he
will ultimately figure prominently at one Of
these pleasant necktie parties there a be
no doubt.

DEADHEAD, A. T., Sept. II, 188-.
GENTLEMEN-I was astonished at re-
your letter Of the 9TH inst. charg-
ng me with an attempt to bribe you, O
your aid and influence in exchange
or a ~pecuniary consideration. Were You
gentlemen more familiar with the manage

my false ideas on the subject, but would

o aid my opponent, Col. Trautman, and
herefore, could not c~onscientiously side
With me, I should have felt that in you I
would find a relentless, but frank and open,

my character, not only in your

have directed my attorneys, Messrs. Hayes
